Dug Up An Old Wallet Containing Silver Coins....I Did The Dance!

John-Edmonton · Apr 30, 2009

Great day, sunny and above zero! It was a Go......My buddy and I headed to an old picnic site, hoping to find that elusive silver.

Here's yours truly

And here's an old picnic table. This is all overgrown now.

A nice area indeed! Lots of moose and deer tracks, still snow on the ground and some moose poop!

After about an hours worth of time into the hunt, I got a bell tone ring, "C" size object at about 5 inches. So, I dug it, and out came a wallet. And some nice coins came with it too.

Here's what the wallet looked like cleaned up a bit.

And here are the coins that were in the wallet, including 3 coins.

Here's all the finds from today. Below are a couple of more silver I managed to get. So a great day it was. Good company, good food and some nice loot!

WTG on the small cache. Better lay off of those hamburgers before you go hunting everytime

Is your ground still frozen up there?? I see Montana is getting a lot of snow Wed. and Thurs. and I know where Alberta is ::)

Sweet find. If I lost my wallet someone could find it by using a detect also. As I normally have a coin or two in it....Matt

That is a very cool find. That must have destroyed the poor kid or slow adult who lost it.

I hope they pulled out of their funk eventually, whoever they are.

That find has a lot of character.

Hmmm, my mother and father would throw us in the station wagon every year to travel up to Moose Jaw from NO DAK. From there we would move around Canada and camp. Some say I turned out OK but my sister is still dull normal. Nice finds.

We always toss our canadian coins aside because we cant spend them. I got a chuckle when
I saw the us pennies in that collection...I see the canucks get american coinage slipped into
their hands as well. Great post btw, looks like a great time...especially with the totally cool score.
